[News] More Windows/Internet Explorer Holes, Microsoft in Denial

Microsoft: Shortcut 'trick' is legitimate feature

,----[ Quote ]
| A Windows shortcut "trick," which could allow an executable file to
| be launched when a user types a Web address into Internet Explorer, is
| not a security vulnerability, Microsoft said.
| 
| Using Windows XP and Internet Explorer, a user could type in a Web
| address--such as www.microsoft.com--into a browser, and instead of
| launching the Web site the browser would run an executable file located
| on the user's computer.
